I'd just like to pass on a little information. Since I announced a few weeks back that I'm running for congress,I've met several senators & congressmen/congresswomen. I've asked each one the question, What is the best way for people to make their voices heard in DC? Every single one gave me the same answer...........Send your senators & congress representatives "HAND WRITTEN LETTERS". The reason they need to be hand written is because emails & faxes are scanned by a machine which… Continue

Down in Dothan, AL a man had a TV on in his office when the news of the military
base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.
He called her into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she got a
text message from her husband saying, "I am okay."

The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one
who just sent you a text, not… Continue

Dear friends,
If One Nation Under God was good enough for our *Four Fathers*, why would it not be good enough for all of us now?

This magnificent artist paints with the hand of God. What is going on in our country now is sacrileges as far as I am concerned. I think I speak ,(not for all) but, for many when I say that we need to keep God at… Continue

We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this
latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I
know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future
generations, but sadly,… Continue

History shows us Senators have no idea what have are doing. Kennedy brought us to the brink of extinction, everybody loved him, his family, it was Camelot but he was incompetent. Teddy Roosevelt, former Governor of New York had problems with the Muslims in the Philippines he sent Gen. Jack Pershing to clean up the mess. Black Jack arrested the perpetrators, executed them by firing squat and fed their remains to pigs! THAT IS HOW YOU HANDLE TERRORISTS. At this point do I dare invoke the spirit… Continue

Today was the last straw when ACORN said they were going underground and the CA/AG said okay, I am done. I AM COMING FOR YOU! This lie is over. I will not have my country hijacked by a bunch of Communists. Watch your backs you P/C pieces of dog squeeze, Court is back in session and the Judge is on the bench. I am The Judge and Jury.

Here is the link to the Washington Post article but if you Google "acorn name change" you will find dozens of articles.…

Ten Commandments of Human Relations

The fundamental issue in human ethical behavior is summarized by Jesus in what we have come to call "The Golden Rule." Jesus put it this way:

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12 TNIV).

It asks us to test our treatment of others by putting ourselves in their place. Treat others the way you would want them to treat you in the same or similar circumstance.

Somebody took that principle and translated it into Ten Commandments of Human Relations. You may have seen this anonymous piece, for it circulates in a variety of settings. In case you have missed it, I am reproducing it here.

Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.

Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.

Call people by name. It is music to anyone’s ears to hear the sound of his or her name.

Be friendly and helpful.

Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is genuinely a pleasure. If it isn’t, learn to make it so.

Be genuinely interested in people. You can like almost anyone, if you try.

Be generous with praise, cautious with criticism.

Be considerate of the feelings of others. There are usually three sides to a controversy — yours, the other fellow’s, and the correct one.

Be alert to serve. What counts most in life is what you do for others.

Live with a good sense of humor, a generous dose of patience, and a dash of humility appropriate to being human.

Made in God’s image, all of us have something to be valued!

The great challenge in human experience is not work skills, but people skills. That is, research has shown that the majority of people who fail in their vocation do so because they cannot get along with people.

You might think through the meaning of these ten common-sense ideas for your own workplace and personal activity. But what about the larger setting for your daily life? These principles work everywhere you go, for they are about showing respect to the people you meet in all those places.

Made in God’s image, all of us have something to be valued, affirmed, and acknowledged by others. But let it begin with us to acknowledge it in them. As the cycle of giving and receiving enlarges, the human community comes alive.
